WINSLOW, Maine — An Augusta man who police say was behaving suspiciously at a local fast food establishment is facing drug charges.

Derek Gauthier, 33, was allegedly snorting an undisclosed substance in the bathroom at McDonald’s on Tuesday, according to Winslow police Chief Jeff Felanson.

After police were called, Gauthier drove across the street to a Cumberland Farms, where police spotted him inside the store, Felanson said.

When officers asked to search Gauthier, he was cooperative and admitted he had a needle and a spoon in his pocket, the chief said.
